2-day In-person Seminar Hospital-Physician Relations: A Legal Perspective

Overview: We will begin by tracing the peer review process from its early development to the present time, reviewing the legal process of change and the acceptance by hospitals and physicians of their responsibility for assuring the quality of care. We will then build on this history by reviewing the legal status of peer review today. Case law as well as both federal and state peer review law will be examined. This lays the foundation of the remainder of the program. From this foundation, the remainder of the program and the development of the peer review process are built. Why should you attend? The purpose of this seminar is to provide the attendee with an understanding of the relationship between the hospital, its medical staff and the individual physicians on that staff. If you are involved as an executive, medical staff officer, peer review committee official, or staff to any of the above, you should attend this program to gain a better understanding of how and why the process works and how the law has developed the modern peer review process.
